The Record

LODI - Lodi police are investigating a shooting outside of the Star Market on Thursday morning.

Lodi police Lt. David Griffin said three people were getting into their car at the market, 741 Cherokee Lane, at 11:30 a.m. where two men started "throwing gang signs."

"One of them produced a gun and shot multiple times," Griffin said.

Griffin said a woman was shot in the back of the head. The bullet did not enter the skull, but just grazed her and broke the skin. A man was shot twice in the back and is also expected to survive, Griffin said.

The victims were driven by family members to Lodi Memorial Hospital for treatment, and that's when police were called, Griffin said.

Investigators are working with very little information on the two suspects, other than that they are likely members of a Lodi gang.
